BIOMECHANICAL ENERGY AIRED PROTECTIVE APPAREL

摘要

Described herein is protective apparel intended for use against an undesirable liquid agent. The apparel permits low pressure air movement between the environment external to the apparel and an internal volume within the apparel. Compliant spacers maintain an internal volume between a wearer and an outer shroud material in the apparel. One or more holes in the apparel permit air movement between the internal volume and external environment. The low pressure air movement permits biomechanical energy of the wearer to move air in and out of the apparel.
